I have always been fascinated by the technique of enameling. I love the multi-layered effect and the smooth texture of the finished product. I am particularly inspired by the work of Mackintosh Enamels. I have one of their light switch covers in my bedroom, and I love it (I love being able to add tiny touches of art in unexpected places).
My card is inspired by the yellow switch plate cover.
I cut flowers from cardstock using my Cuttlebug Flower die cuts & attached them to light yellow cardstock using temporary adhesive.
I used my spray box and sprayed a coating of Mango Lemonade Memories Mists. After it dried, I removed several of the flowers and sprayed a second layer using Orange Juice Memories Mists.
I finished the card with my Fiskars Threading Water punch, and some yellow ribbon. The blooms are layered Mylar Flowers by Creative Impressions that I found on my Chicago Road Trip. I layered them with one of the sprayed diet cut flowers and a brown brad. The sentiment is a rub-on from Stampin’ Up.
I hope you find inspiration.
well, i ALWAYS feel inspired here in the STEF-o-SPHERE!!! how could one *not* be inspired when surrounded by so many magnificent creations?! 🙂
Awesome technique. Love the richness of the orange that you got: Gorgeosity! Thanks for sharing how you did it.
